When a creature is exiled temporarily to avoid an enchantment or instant that would take him out of the game does that creature lose any enchantments or +1/+1 counters it has when it comes back into play.
Yes they do unless it is phasing but cloud shifting does remove any + or enchantments
Anytime a creature leaves the battlefield for any reason, they lose all enchantments/ciphers/counters that were on them. There are some exceptions to this, but they are older cards I know not of.
From the rules:
121.2. Counters on an object are not retained if that object moves from one zone to another. The counters are not "removed"; they simply cease to exist. See rule 400.7.
400.7. An object that moves from one zone to another becomes a new object with no memory of, or relation to, its previous existence. There are seven exceptions to this rule:
- 400.7a Effects from spells, activated abilities, and triggered abilities that change the characteristics of a permanent spell on the stack continue to apply to the permanent that spell becomes.
- 400.7b Prevention effects that apply to damage from a permanent spell on the stack continue to apply to damage from the permanent that spell becomes.
- 400.7c If an ability of a permanent requires information about choices made as that permanent was cast as a spell, including what mana was spent to cast that spell, it uses information about the spell that became that permanent as it resolved.
- 400.7d Abilities that trigger when an object moves from one zone to another (for example, "When Rancor is put into a graveyard from the battlefield") can find the new object that it became in the zone it moved to when the ability triggered, if that zone is a public zone.
- 400.7e Abilities of Auras that trigger when the enchanted permanent leaves the battlefield can find the new object that Aura became in its owner's graveyard if it was put into that graveyard at the same time the enchanted permanent left the battlefield. It can also find the new object that Aura became in its owner's graveyard as a result of being put there as a state-based action for not being attached to a permanent. (See rule 704.5n.)
- 400.7f If an effect grants a nonland card an ability that allows it to be cast, that ability will continue to apply to the new object that card became after it moved to the stack as a result of being cast this way.
- 400.7g A resolving spell or activated ability can perform actions on an object that moved from one zone to another while that spell was being cast or that ability was being activated, if that object moved to a public zone
RESOLVED
Can a token be exiled and brought back into play by cloudshift?
No. Tokens cease to exist once they leave the battlefield.
From rules:
704.5d If a token is phased out, or is in a zone other than the battlefield, it ceases to exist.
If a creature has a ability. That happens " when it enters the battlefield" will that ability trigger again once it re enters the battlefield from exile?
Yes.
Yes. It counts as a new object and would get all of its triggers.
Awesome thanks a lot guys. You have helped me understand exile a lot more. The references to the rules, where can those be located at?
YOu can find them here. (http://www.wizards.com/Magic/TCG/Article.aspx?x=magic/rules)

There is a comprehensive rules list in this app too. Very helpful in a pinch. :)
What do you guys prefer to use as far as a counter goes. Do you have something you put on the card, keep track of it in your head, use paper and pen etc....
I never thought to use dice I've been using those flat glass marble things that go into fish aquarium's.
I use wooden blocks from the game "Risk".
Nice
